WHAT Is THIS DISEASE THAT Il COMING
UPON vsi


Like thief at night 1t steals in upon
US unawares. The, patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back, They feel dull and sleepy !;
the morning. A sort of sticky slime col
lects about the teeth. The appetite is
poor. There is feeling like a heavy
load on The stomach; sometimes a faint.
all gone sensation at the pit of the ston-
ach which food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken. the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy. After while
cough sets in, at first dry, but after a
few months it is attended with green
ish-colored expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and sleep does
not seem to afford any rest. After time
he becomes nervous irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There is gid
diness, sort of whirling sensation in the
head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costlve the skin is dry
and hot at times the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites of the
eyes become tinged with yellow the
urine is scanty and high colored, depos-
iting a sediment after standing. There
is frequently a splitting up of the food,
/ sometimes with sour taste and some
times with a swedish taste this is fire.
quently attended with palpitation of the
heart the vision becomes impaired, with
spots before the eyes there is feeling
of great prostration and weakness. All
|
of these symptoms are in turn present.
1t is thought that nearly one-third of our
population has this disease in some of its
varied forms.
1t has been found that physicians have
mistaken the cause of this disease. Some
have treated it for liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, ETC., etc.. but
none of these kinds of treatment have
been attended with success for it is real
ly constipation and dyspepsia. 1t is also
found that Shaker Extract of Roots, or
Mother Seigels Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove this dis
ease in all its stages. Care should be
taken. however, to secure the genuine
article.

The Murmer of the Waves.
Philadelnhia Call.


cit is not merely the a-bathing at
Atlantic City that is invigorating," said a
broad street physician. "There are other
things that bear almost as directly upon
an improving condition of health. The
constant murmur of the waves OF the sea
tends to soothe the brain and promote
profound sleep. The nervous headache,
to which most weakly persons are subject
from indigestion, bad blood, or defective
circulation, is frequently entirely removed
by the refreshing air of the ocean. Walk
ing along the shore of a morning and
evening, breathing the pure, fresh air,
and bathing IN its healthful waters, to-
gether with the bright and glittering
light reflected from it's bosom is peculi-
arly calculated to promote cheerfulness,
and is very favorable to the action Of the
heart and nerves of persons in delicate
health; the elevating thoughts, the pure
air the boundless prospects, the cheerful
sky, all assists and are more beneficial in
producing sound health than ali the medi-
cines that can be administered. When
the curative powers of nature fail all
are pOwerless"

A Story Of An Absent-Minded Nan.
Schenectady Union.

Observation-Disclosures is a peculiar fail
ing, and at times exceedingly annoying,
as serious consequences may result from
it. The lawyer of this city who emptied
hod OF coal into his washstand one
night, ano then turned basin of water on
the fire, has frequently had cause to de-
plOre the habit his thoughts had of wand
ering. He was in New York two or three
years ago, and when evening came he at
tended the theater. The play was of an
emotional character, and the female por-
ton of the audience had almost constant
use for there handkerG hiefs. My friend
heart is tender, too, and when the heroine
on the the stage got into an extraordinary
bad scrape he felt sorry for her, anu be-
gan to grow moist about the eyes him
self, but his tears were destained to dry
very quickly. At that moment when the
only sounds in the house were tho sobs OF
the actress, the lawyers attention wsnd-
cred for just a single instant, and that
was plenty long enough, for he had
thoughtof something Olse besides the
play. "By the great horn spoon" he al,
most shouted, bringing his hand down
with a resounding bang on his knee, Il
gave that man at the door twenty dol
lar bilI," and without paying the slight
est attention to the astonished audience
my friend rushed down the aisle after his
change. Fortunately the ticket seller re

Cornelius Vanderbiit's Team.
N. Y. Letter to Detroit Tribune.

A back-county Sheriff would have been
astonjshed at the possibilities OF the
primeval buggy if he had seen one that
passed me near the entrance of Central
Park. 1t was the buggy pure and sim pie,
but it was of such exquisite workman
ship that it showed the great advance
which the carriage-makers had made in
recent years. The wheels were almost
like spiders web, and the body was as
light and fragile as jewel-ease. 1t was
swung on sidebar springs, of course, and
the team of light sorrels ran far ahead
and very far apart. They were not trot-
ting horses, but high-bred, lightweight
English carriage horses, trained to move
at sharp canter and in perfect unison.
They were not checked, but they held their
heads like the familiar pictures of the
Arab steeds, and their fire and dash were
worth going a long distance to see. The
back of the buggy was down, and in it,
holding the reins carelessly9 was man
with clear-cut profile, blue eyes and
little square patches of closely clipped
whiskers in front of each ear. He is
worth about $780, 100000, but he drives a
buggy just as his father and grandfather
did before him. 1t was Cornelius Wander

Hereditary Influences.

DR.. Mays, Superintendent of the Stock
ton Insane Asylum, California, says that
one-third of the population lthe for sign-
born) produce two thirds of the insane,
and yet the proportion of insane in Cali
fornla is not in excess of that in many
states-about one to every $50 inhabi-
tants- The doctor thiaks that the prime
causes of insanity are intemperance and
neglect of the laws of health. sit is in
the second generations that the evil works
its most harm. One half of the insane,
and perhaps more, owe their derange-
ment to hereditary influences, indicating
an ancestral faint or predispesition. The
families Of Incorporate parents furnish
the recruiting grounds for insane asy-
lums. These unfortunate children, if not
idiots or epileptics, are liable to grow up
with explosive tempers, feeble powers of
self guidance, weak in temptation, un
stable, self-indulgent, vicious, hysterical.
They form the bulk of what are known
as the defective classes" From DIR.

YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Its Most Remarkable Attraction the Hurri-
cane Geyser.
St. Paul Pioneer Press.

ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
A Norris Geyser basin, Montana, cor
respondent of the st. Paul Pioneer Press
writes:
81 am now at the Norris Geyser basin
on my second round of the National
Park. Last week Jabez Gilpin, of Leeds,
England, was the first tourist to reach
the upper geyser basin in 1887. But
Frank Vincent, Jr., of New York city, and
w. d. Rosenberg, of Philadelphia, will
anticipate all in reaching the grand
canyon. The most wonderful of ali the
the wonders at the Norris basin is known
as the hurri"al> geyser. 1t is recent
outbreak, scarcely year old. The crater
about twenty by thirty feet, and is in
closed by solo wall of rock, about ten
feet in depth, to the surface of the water,
and no one can tell how far below this
rocky Enclosure extends. Several years
ago we could sit on the end of this rock
rib and watch the torrid waves run down
the Enclosure, strike the wall beneath our
feet, and sink into the earth to reappear
at the upper end with undiminishe ed
force. Now eight days later we find that
the boiling flood shoots out over the the
we'll where we formerly sat.
August Kelly, who has been the only
resident of this basin during the winter,
informs me that he noticed a marked
change in the quality of water discharged
and the energy dis played at this basin
after the earthquakes of December 8,
1886. The hurricane presents the ap-
pearance of a revolving liquid globe.
There is huge boulder In the center of
the quadrangular crater, over which the
water dashes with such force as to give it
the appearance of an immense wheel In
perpetual motion. The intense heat may
be realized in a measure, when it is stated
that the rocks ten feet from the edge are
so hot that the naked hand can only be
held on them but for an instant. The
water is turbid and bears evid nee of the
fact that the subterranean chambers ar e
being enlarged. They are evidently alb
sorbing the material that has been dis
charged at other geysers. The Monarch
geyser, formerly the greatest of this
basin, is now secOnd-class geYser, OF
very irregular habits. Visitors sit by Il
for hours, and often leave without wit
| Messing an eruption. But the hurricane
| like the Black Warrior of the Ebony
basin, never rests and conseq uently nevel
disappOints the wonder seeker.
Capt. M. Harris, superintendent of The
park is pursuing a judicieus course il
furnishing all parties who leave Nam
mouth hot springs to make the tour OF
the park with printed copy of tht
rules and regulations published by the
secretary of the interior regarding tht
| preservation of timber from forest fires
and objects of interest from mutilatio1
by specimen hunters.
In this way no one can complain o.
not knowing what these rules are, and il
a violation occurs the trespasser mus
take the consequences.

A SUMMER FANCY.

A lone, white cloud. by summer zephyrs
fringed,
The swift winged car of some best angel
scenes
Whom heaven hath left awhile to gaze upon
The mellow glory Of old earth, aglow
With summer-shine, and nearer view the
scenes
Where first in life it had learned to love
An angel can see upon
The fieecy, floating clouds that bless
The blue monotony Of summer skies,
One day. reclining on a grassy slope,
Half dreaming, iulled by gently rustlin e
leaves,
Which sang their wind born music DER my
head,
And pebblerippled murmurings of stream,
Upon whose vendured, fiowsry banks lay
With eyes intend on one OF those lone clouds
That seemed content alone to stray mid
heaven
And, moving slow, and stretching its white
arms,
AS yearning to embrace some good of earth
A crystal dew drop fall upon my brow.
That seemed q tear by some sad angel shed
Who wandered with that cloud in guest of
some
Old love I'll at yet remained on earth.

A Rascally Old Beggar.

Says a dispatch from Washington
Court House, Ohio:
Another incident illustrating the de-
ceitfulness of the average professional
beggar has recently come to light at the
county infrmary. An old tramp who
claimed to be 81 years of age and unable
to speak anything but the German Ian
guage, begged about town several days,
at one place purse Of several dollars
being made up for him by the bystanders.
Finally, the old man applied to the town
ship trustees for help, and he was sent to
the infmary. Supt. Wilson says he sus-
pected the old man as being fraud, and
made up his mind to search him. From
one pocket was taken an old soiled enyel-
ope, which contained certificate of de-
post in bank of Columbus, O., of 1925.
Besides this the old miser had consider
able cash on hand, and was too stingy to
buy himself anything to eat. He was
soon dismissed from the infirmary

The Political Chess Beard.

No wonder the democratic news
papers have been keeping quiet about
the results of the recent election in
Kentucky. The startling inRorma-
ton given to the country by the As
sociated Press on Tuesday night and
PUBLISHED in the Tacoma Ledger is a
hand writing on the wall that their
party is falling to pieces III the very
strongholds of that ancient organiza>
ton. General Buckner, the demo
cratic candidate for governor, came
very near suffering defeat at the
hands of General bradley, the repnb
lican candidate, Ia state that gave
Cleveland nearly $4,000 plurality.
At the last election for congressman
i'll the same state, Speaker Carlisle
one of the most popular democrats
there, barely escaped defeat by la.
bor candidate, and now Buckner is
elected governor by 1900 plurality,
not majority. Blaine polled oven
11S,000 votes in Kentucky in 1884
and Bradley's vote Is much more, not
that Blaine was unpopular but be-
cause the republican party is gaining
strength In that state The COurirc-
Journal and other democratic papers
generally attempt to explain away
the weakness of their vote by attrib
uting il to the democrats staying
away from the polls and taking nc
interest in the vote as they looked
upon Buckner's election as certain
but that will not satisfy thinking peo,
pie inasmuch as the same thing was
said about Carlisle's seeming defeat
which was fair warning to thom
The remarkable change in the vote oi
the state since 1874 places Kentucky
squarely in the list of doubtful states
for the democrats in 1888. The re-
publican gain in the recent election
was fully 25,000. The solid south is
evidently breaking up. In 1886
Virginia elected six republican con-
gressmen and three democratic and
the total vote left the democracy in q
minority of about 21,000 in the state
The republicans besides this gained
congressman in several other south
ern states. Indiana which gave its
electoral vote to Mr.. Cleveland in
1884 by $500 plurality turned back tc
the republicans last year an3 elected
their candidate for lieutenant gov
crnor by over 5000 plurality. The re-
publican vote there was only 650C
less than IN 1884. The democratic
vote was 1000 less. The total con-
gressional vote of democratic New
Jersey last year shows republican
plurality of over 5000. Connecticut
voted for Cleveland in 1884. This
year it has republican governor
